Ventrac 3200 Cruise Control Optoons?

[Haymaker101]

Hey guys, I have a Ventrac 3200 which we use for mowing our 20 acres of Christmas Trees. Is there a way to add a hands/foot free cruise control? Anyone make anything custom to hold the forward engagement lever forward or the pedal down? All of land is flat and straight 400' rows. I know its not terribly hard holding the forward lever, but after hours upon hours pushing forward it gets old. I look forward to hearing from you guys, Thanks!

I was thinking maybe a spring assist on the forward lever or a bracket that notches behind the lever keeping it pushed foward

Maybe you could fashion a bracket with a joint that can be tensioned enough to hold the SDLA, yet free enough to "break away" if you push or pull on it. There is a product for motorcycles like that, but it would not work for your desire.

A gummy strap, you can still pull it back to neutral in an emergency or unhook it if you don't need it ..... jim
